U/>e Best Stock ! 



Twenty years' experience in rearing Italian queen 

 bees, and producing honey on a large scale has taught 

 me the value of the best stock, and what the best 

 queens reared from that best stock mean to the hon- 

 ey-producer. I have always tried to improve my 

 stock by buying queens from breeders who breed for 

 honey- gathering instead of color; then by crossing 

 these different strains and selecting the best and 

 breeding from them I have secured a strain of stock 

 that is the equal of any for honey-gathering. 



Delanson, New York, July 10, 1902. 

 Mr. Robey— Dear Sir: The queens that I bought 

 of you two .vears ago were the finest lot, and the best 

 honey-gatherers of any queens 1 ever had, and I have 

 had over ]llf)0 queens from the principal queen-breed- 

 ers of the t'niteil States. E. W. Alexander. 

 Warranted queens in any quantity, 60c. each. Safe de- 

 livery and satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded.
